Saw a pretty fast E55 at EnglishTown Street Warz over the weekend

really nice setup





video of the runs



this was my run, not as impressive

Nice seeing some E's running at Etown, and you put down some decent numbers too.

and that's how you sh!it on Hondas lol

Was this just a shakedown run for the Weistec or am I expecting too much?

I was thinking the same thing. I HOPE its for real and reliable. If so, then I would be very, very interested.

Also, I liked how they blocked off the air filter. They are trying to block off the engine bay heat. That is one of the better ways I have yet seen.

Weistec, if you are on this thread, please chime in.

Looks like you need an I/C pump rasta...that mph says it all.

A stock blower with bolt ons can run those numbers. Just saying

hpV12

I was expecting something faster. Mid/High 10s at least if I'm paying 10k for a blower and all associated mods. Not hating just saying.. an ECU'd 600/65 can give you a run..

That's what I thought... Especially if you're in the condition's that the guys are running high 11's stock in.

Worth the wait

You guys crack me up.
Shakedown for big blower happened months ago.
10.7...blah, blah, blah.

Let the bashing about IAT and piston damage start in 3,2,1....


All seriousness, nice run!

Expected a lower 1/4 mile number.. What are the mods on both E's?

chiromikey

Don't put words in anyone's mouth here. We're all correct in expecting more out of that set-up after all the hype and expense...

Depending on the modifications, the times seem to be right. Based on the engine bay shot, it is running a stock sized 74mm throttle body and that can be a big restriction when making power with our supercharger system (and even with the stock compressor). Exhaust is also a big factor. The car sounds fairly quiet as well.

This car is equipped with our optional cold air system that we have been offering with our supercharger system. Below are a few detailed pictures of this.





Please let us know if there is anything we can assist with. Thanks!

Damn, it took all that (sc system AND pistons,head studs,rod bolts) to run 10.8.

rasta26

pumps working Mike...IAT still high, maybe time for a trunk mount reservoir

Weistec

This car is capable of much fast than a 10.80. Benzworks decided to build the engine for this reason. The engine parts are to hold the added power, not make more.

you guys make a hell of a kit there. These cars must be nuts with these blowers on them.

RedBullJnky

That's an expensive nut.

Hammer Down

Help me out here where is the cold air coming from or is it using the opening next to the radiator for fresh air?

Weistec

We appreciate that! These cars are extremely fun with our supercharger systems.

Weistec Engineering

you got that right spinning tires now could imagine what that suck would do

Weistec

Our cold air system for the E/CLS55 does use the existing inlet opening on the side of radiator as well as fresh air from the lower grill area under the headlight.

This is why the G55 makes a great daily driver with our parts equipped! AWD and 600HP at the wheels makes its seriously fast from 0-60!
